Melbourne Derby

On December 23rd 2011 one of the most anticipated matchs of  the season had arrived for the A-League and i was looking forward to this more than i was for christmas. It was a day/night where their would be chanting, flares and a great soccer game would be watched. But their was always negatives behind the positives their would be brawling and nothing would stop it. The game was an 8pm kick off so myself, Aaron, Ezz, Sean, Ben, Russo,Adam,Luca and Ricca met at the pre game at 5pm. The pre game was held at the imperial hotel on the corner of bourke and spring st. All of the Yarraside met their before the game.At 7pm the march started with a police escort 500 people walked down the esculators of parliment and we chanted all the way to richmond station as soon as we got off the train a flare was ripped and we marched accros goschs padock and we were escorted to the stadium where we were frisked searched twice and bags were searched. Before the game we had a speech from the cappo and we erupted and started chanting we then put up our banners and we went mental. When Victory went up 1-0 we sang three little birds by Bob Marley and soon enough we equalized and a flare went off in the yarraside. We all stood on chairs inclluding my friends and I. 2 minutes later we scored again. The next half we scored again and went up 3-1 the victory fans went quite as we chatnted "What a waste of money" towards Harry Kewell. Late in the game Hernandez scored but we won 3-2 after te game we left in numbers across Goschs Padock and Victory fans threw 2 flares at us but my mate threw them back and a brawl ignited the the cops came in with the calvalry and broke it up and 2 minutes later it started again on the road(swan st) it stopped when capsicun spray was used and the Yarraside went to Richmond Station as we left to go to flinders st we then all departed our own ways and went home it was fun action packed night and i am looking forward to the next derby
